Reserve your family ski vacation now in the mountains. The snow has been great with all of the cold weather and the fresh snowfall.

Tastefully decorated with leather furniture in the upstairs family room, The Retreat provides ample room for the family to gather, with an open kitchen and a large kitchen table upstairs, and a separate family room with full-size stand-up Nintendo video arcade with 11 different games, foosball, dart board, board games, kids games and toys, bookcase stocked with novels and books to read, big screen television, and couch and loveseat downstairs.

Guests may ski, fish, canoe, tube, bike, hike, hunt, or just relax and unwind to the soothing murmur of the Shenandoah River and cool mountain breezes. Other popular pastimes within easy driving distance include Civil War battlefields and museums, national parks, caverns, wineries, golf, tennis, horse back riding, and the many specialty and antique shops. Located within the Massanutten Four Seasons Resort, and with great views of the ski mountain from the front deck, The Retreat is a rewarding base for those who come to enjoy the many pleasures of Virginia's Valley of the Shenandoah.

About Ryan or Barbara

We are a family of nine, with seven young kids age 14 and younger.

Ryan or Barbara purchased this house in 2004
Why Ryan or Barbara chose Massanutten

While on a weekend ski trip over President’s Day 2004, we fell in love with Massanutten Resort and purchased our first second home, The Retreat at Massanutten. We have now vacationed at Massanutten for more than seven years and used the resort for many years to get away from the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, for winter skiing and summer outdoor fun. No other resort near Washington, DC offers as wide a variety of activities as Massanutten, and at such a great value for the family to get away together. Since 2004, we have added three additional Massanutten homes to our inventory and rented to more than 700 families. We hope you will enjoy The Retreat at Massanutten as much as our family and our guests have.

Great place to stay!

Submitted: December 1, 2008 Stayed: October 2008
We really enjoyed staying at the Retreat for a weekend in October. 12 adults had plenty of room to spread out. Guys loved the game room. Nicely stocked kitchen and very clean overall. Owner was very helpful in suggesting local restaurants/sites as well and very responsive in answering any questions. A little wear and tear around the edges, but overall great place and would stay here again.

Wonderful Family Reunion

Submitted: October 3, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We had a wonderful family reunion at "The Retreat" in Massanutten. The house was spacious enough for all 17 people and we had plenty of room to gather for socializing and dining in. We found much in the area to keep us busy during the weekend. Some went to the waterpark, some to the family adventure area, and some just relaxed. We had a great time. We thank you and look forward to revisiting Massanutten.

The house was clean but needs to be updated and many repairs are needed, as well. The screen on the back porch was badly torn and not fastened in many places. The kitchen cabinet doors were askew and need to be updated and/or rehung. The living area and dining area have insufficient lighting. It would be preferable to have an icemaker in the kitchen refrigerator. Mattresses need to be replaced. A larger garbage can was needed and there was no recycling container.
On the positive side, the location was good and the fooseball table provided much enjoyment for our grandchildren.
Recommended for:  Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: I was glad to hear that this guest found our home was clean, as we place a high premium on making sure that our home is clean and fresh for each new guest. We also agree that the location is ideally situated at the top of the mountain and the foosball table and other games are great to occupy the kids. I followed up with him on his other comments. This guest was absolutely correct that the back screen had torn and we have replaced the entire screen for the back porch. It is a great feature to the home and adds a lot of usable space to an already large home and we have ensured that all guests can use that without any difficultly. As to the other comments and the overall rating, the guest recognized that he is used to staying in multi-million dollar beach homes on the Outer Banks and perhaps has reviewed the home against those admittedly tough standards. We provide a great mountain home at Massanutten, but by no means do we hold ourselves out to be in the multi-million dollar home rental category, as those homes rent for significantly more money and simply do not exist at Massanutten. The mattresses are all new and quite comfortable, although in response to this guest's comments, we have ordered an additional mattress pad for the master king suite, as that was really the only bed he had an issue with. Massanutten does not recycle, which explains the lack of recycling container.
